Poetry&46;"Nancy Kassell's new (and first) collection TEXT(ISLES) is mature, humane, truly learned&46; The poems, unique, accurate, beautiful, are a model of emotional intelligence&46; Their context is as multidimensional as life and history itself&46; They evoke the classical world-Horace, Ovid, Aeneas, myth revisited they introduce a woman-friendly world especially in their focus on the significance and language of cloth, of sewing, of pattern and texture they 'translate' music (Brahms, Bach), painting (Klee, Soutine), art history they explore sky, earth, water, cellular life they evoke the centrality of love&46; Like the title, the poems fragment and reconcile the worlds they create&46; M 9781939929051
